I built a lightweight HTTP client that lives inside Chrome
I got tired of switching between the browser and Postman just to test a quick API call.
So I built HTTP Client — a Chrome extension that lets you send HTTP requests
directly from a side panel, without leaving your current tab.
What it does
- All HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH and more
- Headers, Query Params, Request Body (JSON / plain text)
- Authentication: Bearer token, Basic Auth, API Key
- Save requests to Collections
- Request History — every request is saved automatically
- Environment Variables — use {{baseUrl}} style placeholders
- Works as a Side Panel — stays open while you browse
Why not Postman?
Postman is powerful, but heavy. Sometimes you just need to hit an endpoint
and see the response. Opening a separate app breaks your flow.
HTTP Client stays inside Chrome, opens in seconds, and remembers your requests.
No account required. No telemetry. Completely free.
Try it
👉 Install from Chrome Web Store
Would love your feedback — what feature would make your API testing faster?

nice work! this hits the sweet spot between "i need a quick curl" and "let me fire up postman." love that it stays in the browser. speaking of lightweight dev tools that boost productivity, daily.dev does something similar for staying current - keeps your dev news right in your new tab instead of bouncing between sites. both solve that context-switching problem really well.
